Hey guys

I was wondering if it is possible to take my rear taillight covers off and replace it with something better than an ageing not-as-clear-anymore one that has indented lines going across it.

I've seen some R31s that dont have that clear cover and i was hoping if i could do the same?

Cheers

Only things I'd suggest to fix your problem is get an early HR31 or an R32/33/34 - because thats the only way you'll get lights like you describe without making the car look poxy.

Most likely you can get fresh light assemblies from somewhere like jenesis ( http://www.r30.co.jp )....

haha this is like, straight-translation using babelfish isnt it? thanks none-the-less. now i gotta figure out the english lol :P

Hey Yas,

I can supply you with this derivative of the same lights.

Maybe better, maybe not, but BLACK background instead of silver/grey

Let me know what you think.

Cheers

that first pic isnt uncovered local lights, its lights off an import nicknamed afterburners. came on seris 1/2 imports r31s..

heres the pic your looking for. series 3 lights (hotplates) with the cover removed. yes, it looks dodgy, but it could look cool.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
